Might be possible to prevent being banned.
I'll give my situation and maybe it will apply to some of you.
I was running iX1.6 and have been offline for a couple months.
My friend hooked his harddrive up to mine and it installed the
system update. I went on my merry way playing offline backups.
After hearing that the ban hammer dropped I reverted to my
original Samsungfirmware. (Actually a spoofed original as I replaced
my DVD drive when it died M-25 -> spoofed M-28)
Held down the sync button on power up to flush failed updates.
(none failed but I hoped it would remove the most recent...
I think it did)
System blade -> memory and hit Y on Hard drive
Did the cache clear, then full format, then cache clear again
Powered off then held the sync button again on restart
After reconnecting to XBL it downloaded the update again.
Now what I think is happening is the update checks the firmware
and sets a flag on your hard drive that gets passed along
when you connect to Live.
If you can roll the firmware back to original AND wipe the
last update BEFORE connecting to live AND wipe all the stuff
you can from it, it should be good.
I will update this if the ban hammer catches up to me.
I won't answer questions like where you can get your original firmware.

Whilst im not knocking your information.
Your suggesting a Hard drive format before connecting to live every time? lol

I don't need to do anything extra now.
I have original firmware and the latest XBL update.
Now I just wait until Lite-Touch comes out so I can
re-flash and play backups again.
This won't help a whole lot of people, but I still want
to pick up a copy of MW2 and play online without needing a
new box. So maybe someone can use the info.
Well I'm not banned. I'm not different than anyone else banned except not using my 360 too much for gaming in the past month. I've been too busy for gaming and what little gaming time I had has been spent playing Uncharted 2 on PS3. However, I've used my 360 for watching movies several days week every for the past month while connected to Live.
